Description
The Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX HT in Snow White is a sleek, high-performance metal machine designed for fast, precise playing at an accessible price. With its neck-through construction, compound radius fingerboard and high-output humbuckers, it is built to handle everything from tight rhythm work to searing leads while looking unapologetically aggressive on stage.
Combining a lightweight poplar body with a reinforced maple neck and ebony fingerboard, this Soloist feels instantly familiar and comfortable in the hands. The 24 jumbo frets, hardtail bridge and simple HH control layout make it a reliable workhorse for modern players who want rock-solid tuning stability and powerful tones without distraction.
Built for Speed and Comfort
The Soloist body shape and deep cutaways give you effortless access to all 24 frets, making high-register solos and extended techniques feel natural. The 12 to 16 inch compound radius ebony fingerboard starts more curved at the nut for comfortable chords, then gradually flattens out towards the body so you can run fast scales and bend strings low to the fretboard without choking out.
Neck Through Stability
A neck-through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint delivers excellent tuning stability and sustain. This construction helps notes ring out clearly across the entire fretboard, while the gloss colour-matched finish on the back of the neck provides a smooth, consistent feel under your fretting hand.
High Output Jackson Humbuckers
Loaded with a pair of Jackson high-output humbuckers, the SLX DX HT is voiced for modern rock and metal. The pickups deliver tight, crunchy rhythm tones and saturated lead sounds with plenty of midrange presence to cut through a mix. With a three-way blade switch plus single volume and tone controls, you can quickly dial in everything from chunky riffs to singing leads.
Hardtail Precision
The Jackson hardtail bridge anchors the strings firmly to the body for reliable tuning and strong sustain. Paired with sealed die-cast tuners and standard strap buttons, the hardware setup is straightforward and dependable, letting you focus on your playing rather than constant adjustments.
